The document discusses the history of computers. It describes how ENIAC was the first general-purpose computer designed to calculate artillery firing tables for the US Army. It was seen as a "Giant Brain" and excited scientists with its programmability. The document also discusses how the transistor, introduced in 1948, was a seminal development as it served as the fundamental building block of modern electronics. Finally, the Altair 8800 microcomputer kit from 1975 unexpectedly sold thousands of units in the first month through hobbyist magazines, surprising its designers.

This document discusses music piracy in Brazil and the United States. It notes that music piracy rates are much higher in Brazil at 55% compared to less than 10% in the US. The author examines the political and economic factors driving music piracy in each country. Pressure from international groups like the IIPA has led the US to threaten sanctions against Brazil if it does not strengthen anti-piracy enforcement. However, Brazil argues it has made progress and questions whether the US adequately addresses piracy originating within its own borders. The author also notes that poverty may be a contributing factor to higher piracy rates in Brazil compared to the wealthier US.
This document discusses an article from October 25, 2001 about American Airlines recovering the ".com.br" and "aa.com.br" domain names in Brazil from parties that had registered them without permission. While Brazil did not have formal dispute resolution policies or legislation regarding domain name registration at the time, its courts were still ordering the transfer of domain names deemed to be unfairly or in bad faith.
1) Uma empresa foi surpreendida com um auto de infração e condenada a pagar impostos retroativamente, contrariando orientações prévias da autoridade tributária.
2) A decisão também desrespeitou disposições do Código Tributário Nacional que proíbem penalidades durante consultas e quando o contribuinte segue atos administrativos.
3) A empresa solicita que o jurista revise o caso e identifique as ilegalidades, uma vez que a decisão foi contra a prova dos autos e normas tributárias.
The First Civil Chamber of the Minas Gerais Court of Appeal ruled in favor of Lago e Ducaa Indústria e Comércio de Alimentos Ltda in a domain name dispute against Master Credi S/C Ltda. The court ordered Master Credi to transfer the domain name containing "lago e ducca" to Lago and pay damages, as well as a R$1,000 fine if it does not comply. The decision clarifies that using a third party's trademark in a domain name without authorization is illegal, and trademark ownership belongs to the first party to register the mark with INPI.
Brazil's Congress approved a measure providing tax incentives for microprocessors. The measure exempts microprocessors worth less than R$11,000 from industrial product taxes in 2003, with the tax exemption amount gradually decreasing until it ends in 2009. To qualify for the incentives, companies must meet technical and production requirements and invest at least 2.5% of their net domestic revenue in research and development. The measure aims to stimulate growth in Brazil's information technology sector, continuing the government's history of using tax breaks for that purpose.
The document discusses a court case in Brazil regarding spam emails. The State Treasury Court of Porto Alegre lifted an injunction against an internet service provider that was allowing a journalist to distribute a daily newsletter to over 11,000 people via email. The court disagreed with the journalist's argument that the newsletter did not constitute spam under Brazilian law since it does not define spam. The court determined the emails were unsolicited, which is an element of the international definition of spam. This decision broke from previous case law that found unsolicited emails were a legitimate part of marketing.
Microsoft was accused of antitrust violations in Brazil for bundling Microsoft Money software with its Office Small Business package. The Brazilian antitrust authority (CADE) ruled partially in favor of Microsoft, finding that the bundling did not limit market access, development of competitors, or access to resources as alleged. However, CADE will investigate potential irregularities in Microsoft's sales of Money software to government agencies in Brazil regarding pricing and contracts denominated in foreign currency.

3) Companies receiving R&D incentives would still be excluded from the new transfer pricing rules.

Over 2,500 lawyers have already registered for the free online registration system, although it is currently only available in São Paulo.

General Motors of Brazil dismissed 33 employees for inappropriate internet and email use to access and distribute pornographic material. While GM would not comment on the decision, a union representative said the dismissal was justified as the employees did not need to access those sites for work. Brazilian law does not have specific internet use policies for employees, but misusing company assets can justify termination, and more companies are monitoring email and internet usage.
Brazilian company Serasa has received authorization to provide digital certification services for electronic documents and signatures, allowing electronic documents certified by Serasa to have the same legal validity as physically signed documents. Serasa was founded in 1968 and provides economic, financial, and information services. Other authorized or pending authorization digital certification providers in Brazil include Serpro, CertiSign, and Unicert.

The Brazilian government has launched a public key infrastructure called ICP-Brasil through a new law called Provisional Measure 2200. This will establish a Root Certification Authority to register certification companies and determine procedures they must follow to be accredited. Once registered, certification companies can register e-signatures and issue digital certificates containing identification information and a public key paired with a unique private key, allowing users to encode and decode signatures and documents.
Bill 84/99 in Brazil, which sets out provisions on cybercrime, awaits approval by the House of Representatives and Senate. Once passed, it will provide definitions for criminal offenses related to hacking, misuse of personal information, child pornography, and duplication of mobile phone or credit cards when conducted electronically. The bill aims to regulate cybercrime in Brazil by codifying related criminal acts, as the current lack of clarification has made it difficult to impose sanctions for such offenses.
A Brazilian businessman was sentenced to 3 years in prison and fined for sending defamatory emails about Bradesco bank. The emails falsely claimed the bank was being sued for billions and that clients were withdrawing money and shares were falling. The police traced the emails to a cyber cafe the businessman was using in London at the time. This case shows courts can apply existing laws to online crimes and Brazilian police have the ability to investigate such crimes.
The bill would require web hosts and internet service providers in Brazil to keep detailed records of website usage for at least one year, including user identities and access information. This is to help identify and punish criminals using websites for illegal activities. The proposed legislation would consolidate similar bills and complement an existing cybercrime law by obligating providers to securely store records and only share them with authorities having a court order.
